EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, JTO ON 2024 IMPACT FACTOR
Alex A. Adjei, MD, PhD, FACP
"I would like to share the Journal of Thoracic Oncology's (JTO) progress with you. The Impact Factor is 20.8. This is a slight decrease from 21.1 last year. The journal remains a "high impact journal" with an IF > 20. The journal ranks third among 108 respiratory medicine journals and remains at 13th among 326 oncology journals. Because of the narrower focus, it is generally difficult for organ specific oncology journals to make a significant impact in the oncology publishing landscape. With an Impact Factor of 20.8, JTO is the leading journal in thoracic oncology and in the top thirteen of all three hundred and twenty-six cancer journals.
As the leading thoracic oncology journal, its strength is in its multidisciplinary approach to research. JTO continues to have a quick turn-around time of one week to initial decision, and an average of 2.8 weeks for revisions, a fast-track category, publish on acceptance, and promotion of select articles via social media and press releases. Authors can promote their own research by utilizing Elsevier enhancements such as Sharelink.
The continued prominence of JTO in the highly competitive general oncology journal landscape is due to the support of the IASLC office and IASLC members, as well as our dedicated publishing team and exceptional editorial board members."

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, JTO CRR ON 2024 IMPACT FACTOR
Emily Stone, MBBS, PhD, FRACP
"I am delighted to share with you that the impact factor for JTO Clinical and Research Reports (JTO CRR) is 3.5, an increase from last year's IF of 3.0. This puts the journal in the top half of oncology journals and in the top third of respiratory journals. This reflects the tremendous support from the IASLC, the journal team as a whole, the remarkable group of Associate Editors, our editorial office team, and all our reviewers.
As you know, an academic journal's impact factor reflects the frequency of citations for an average article in a particular year and is used as a marker for rank, importance, and prestige.
JTO CRR, the open-access sister journal to JTO, provides researchers with opportunities to publish a wide range of studies in thoracic oncology and is committed to the very highest quality research. We work hard on rapid turn-around with time to first decision of less than one week, prompt review, and publication on acceptance via the Article-Based Publishing workflow at Elsevier.
I would like to thank our submitting authors, reviewers, editorial board members, editorial and publication staff, and, of course, the IALSC for supporting this journal. JTO CRR looks set for an exciting future."
